While we love the idea of large parties, the "more the
merrier", our kitchen is too small to accommodate parties over four. We
have 6 burners and a 2' by 2' griddle, 25% of which is always covered with home
fries. Because Kirby alone cooks every dish to order (most dishes require two
pans one for the main + one for the eggs, total=12 burners), if a party over
four wants to eat together the other 28 patrons of the restaurant have to wait
until that one tables' order is completed. Since putting a cap on table
size at four, the average wait time has gone from 40/90 minutes to 15/30
minutes for most tables. The time waiting for your food once you have ordered
has been cut in half
